Lemon Chicken With Basil

Recipe Ingredients

2		Chicken breasts
1 lb	454g / 16oz	Mushrooms
1		Lemon - sliced into thin wed
1 cup	237ml	Tomato sauce-8 oz
1		Basil - chopped fresh
6		Sprouts
		Chives - chopped
1/4 cup	59ml	White wine-cheap
1/2 cup	73g / 2.6oz	Mozzarella cheese - shredded *
1 cup	160g / 5.6oz	Rice - uncooked
		Parmesan cheese.

Recipe Instructions

Chicken breasts can be split to 4 pieces or cubed to bite size. In deep fry pan, saute chicken and mushrooms in half of the white wine with basil, lemon, and chives until mostly done. Splash in rest of wine (or extra) as needed.

Add tomato sauce, cover, and simmer for 20 minutes, or until thickened, stirring occasionally. When done, lemon wedges should be thoroughly cooked, and can be eaten.

Serve over steamed rice. Top with a sprinkle of parmesan or mozzarella (not too much) and a little sprinkle of chives. (It's good without the cheese, too.)

Garnish with a fresh sprig of basil and wedges from unused half of lemon. Serves 2 (plenty).

NOTE: The white wine can be replaced with apple juice. As a matter of fact, I like mushrooms cooked in apple juice until it's reduced down to almost nothing. A lot less calories than cooking them in butter, and tastes great.

Sometimes I'll put in a clove of garlic. (I haven't tried this when using apple juice instead of wine yet.)
